Mr. Jia, who had originally had a serious face, couldn't help laughing when he heard his sharp words.
"Aren't you tired of holding it in? You're such a rich man, and you're still laughing secretly?"
Mr. Jia couldn't hold back any longer and fell forward and backward with laughter.
The servants in the house and the officers and soldiers outside the main hall all hung their heads, wishing they could disappear right where they were.
Tang Youyou suddenly realized that the two of them might have a close relationship. Master Jia had been in business for many years and would not be so rude.
"Hmph... laugh, laugh, there will always be a time for you to cry!" County Magistrate Zhang felt that he had to file a complaint when he got home! It would be best to make this guy kneel on the washboard.
Suddenly, an officer bowed and said, "Sir, the doctor is here!"
The three of them came to the leek shed together.
County Magistrate Zhang stroked his beard and said, "Not bad, you have a sharp mind!"
The way Master Jia hesitated to speak successfully made him laugh. He said sarcastically, "Hey... What could make Master Jia so anxious?"
Master Jia glanced at Tang Youyou and saw that she was whispering with several doctors. He stamped his feet and said, "Master Zhang, the secrets in this shed must be kept secret. This is the ability of the village to make a living!"
County Magistrate Zhang took two deep breaths. What he said made him laugh and cry. "You really care about this. Tsk tsk, does Yue Niang know about this?"
Master Jia: "..."
He slowly approached and said, "If the entire Qingshui County were to plant these greenhouses, the people would have an income and wouldn't have to starve! Wouldn't that be better?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Master Jia's eyes, and then he shook his head. "Sir, if every household in Qingshui had this greenhouse, who would sell these vegetables to? How can things still be so valuable because they are rare?"
“We can sell it to the next county!”
"Sir, when the Nanzhou prefect learns of this, will he force you to hand over this method for the sake of his political achievements? Will you hand it over or not?"
County Magistrate Zhang frowned and remained silent.
Master Jia sighed inwardly, thinking that the eldest sister must have guessed this! It is absolutely true that if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
County Magistrate Zhang also wanted to get involved for the sake of his own political achievements, but he didn't expect that he was still an acting county magistrate and had no ability to protect this plan. If it were to be spread out, it would only bring disaster to Xiangyang Village!
"Oh... what a vicious mind!" The doctor was very angry.
"You're quite thoughtful. Fortunately, you discovered it in time, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!"
"What's going on?" Tang Youyou made some guesses.
"This piece of land can no longer be used! Someone melted arsenic in water and spread it on this chive field!"
"Yes, arsenic originally had a faint garlic smell, which was masked by the chives!"
Several doctors told each other the results they had obtained.
Tang Youyou bowed slightly: "Doctors, please check other places carefully! Thank you for your help!"
"No problem, this is a matter of life and death, we have no choice but to accept it!"
So the doctors began to look elsewhere.
The soldiers standing by were so frightened that they were sweating profusely and almost crying. "Who... is this so cruel? They want our entire village to be accused of murder!"
Tang Youyou couldn't bear to see a man crying in front of her, so she patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, luckily no one was killed, there's still time for everything!"
Half an hour later, the doctors breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and smiled faintly: "Everything else is fine! Don't panic too much!"
Tang Youyou expressed her gratitude and immediately handed over the silver. "Dear doctors, today is really thanks to you. This is the consultation fee, please accept it!"
The doctors quickly refused.
"It's just a waste of time, how can I accept this money for nothing!"
"That's right. Today, we are really surprised. This is the first time we have seen people grow vegetables like this!"
Tang Youyou understood and looked towards the hall and Yu, "Pick some mushrooms and sprouts from the two sheds! Pick six portions!"
Yu understood what he meant and immediately took people to clean up the mess.
"Doctors, please don't refuse these fresh vegetables! They are worth only a few silver coins!"
Doctors: This woman is so clever! How did she know we wanted this dish? Or was she trying to silence us?
However, Tang Youyou said nothing more.
"Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful. To be honest, I'm quite curious about the food in the shed!"
"Yes, it's quite warm in here! I suppose there's a fire?"
"Those mushrooms are growing so beautifully! Your village is truly remarkable!"
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate coughed twice and said, "This is a secret of the village. You'd better keep your mouths shut!"
The doctors exchanged a glance and immediately bowed, "Your Excellency the County Magistrate is absolutely right. This is someone's cooking skill, and we wouldn't make up stories!"
After accepting the promise, the county magistrate nodded slightly, but he felt uncomfortable when he thought of Jia Fugui's words.
Tang Youyou looked at the army and made a quick decision, "Go burn that piece of leeks! Cut all the rest of the leeks. In the future, we won't sell these leeks. We'll eat them ourselves!"
The army was about to speak but stopped talking, only to hear Tang Youyou continue: "Now, because of these leeks, a murder has occurred in Nanzhou. Although it has been found out that it has nothing to do with us, people are still suspicious of us. I'm afraid that these leeks will no longer be sold!"
"Oh...what is this?" Da Jun could only lead his men to do as she said!
County Magistrate Zhang admired her keen insight and was too embarrassed to say what was on his lips.
He left a message: "You should think carefully about who you have offended. If you have any clues, please inform me as soon as possible!"
Tang Youyou: So I have to investigate this case myself?
"Master Zhang, please stay. Please spare me a moment to talk!"
County Magistrate Zhang frowned and said in a very firm tone: "If you have anything to say, just say it in public!"
